THIS!!!! Not only I'm crossing my fingers that you buy it, But you will get to have your own reality show based around doing menial daily tasks around town.... That is until you get on behnd the well of the S8 and the show is transformed into 60 minutes of Ronin type car chases.....
Show ends when you get home from the adventure style drive to the grocery shop, just to bring home a bag of Whiskas Cat food....

Please send me a treatment or at least a decent script. Storyboards will also be accepted.

It's funny you say that. I did drive it and it was a hell of a lot more responsive than the Volvo. Much lighter on its feet than the S60R, even with 3 TCLers + the seller on board. Still, I was ambivalent, since, on paper, the S60R and the S8 are pretty evenly matched, the mileage is similar, the MPG is similar, etc. The Volvo also "looks" newer.

Then, I spent the better part of an hour watching (listening to?) to S8+exhaust videos on YouTube . I think that sealed it.

This one was replayed many times:

I still have the M3 for canyon carving/track/fun stuff. The S8 seems like it would be a decent daily, especially with that noise. GOD THAT NOISE! THAT NOISE!

My B6 S4 had a no res/crossover Milltek exhaust with Milltek catless downpipes (necked down section removed) plus a K&N panel filter. Again I think that's what sold me.

I am ashamed to admit that many moons ago I knew at least three of the individuals in that photo from the "drifting" and "canyons" scene. One is currently in prison (maybe out by now) for carjacking a Z06 just to see how one drives.

I wouldn't want to spend the $1400 for the Milltek (assuming the purchase happens). Think something similar can be replicated with a removed resonator and an aftermarket muffler? I saw a video with a Magnaflow but it was too... Well, too "American"-sounding. Not sure what his actual setup was.

At least 3/4-hearted, for Vad's Hollywood Tours of Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams®. Hell, I very nearly traded the S60R for a restored one .

I'm still thinking about it .

It's the drunken car shopping. I mean we all want to do this, I know I do, but something always stops me from doing it.

Touareg Hybrids are pretty nice, and the warm fuzzies I felt while driving the hybrid was actually the fingers of all of the German tax payers trying to reach into my wallet to get their money back. (Brendan@bwalkauto)
